Days 8-11 - Test 1: Aptitude
Who: All Initiates
What: LACUNA begins her testing phases
When: Days 8-11
Where: Area 2 - Testing Grounds
Warnings: To be updated, but as this is a testing regimen, it will most likely contain language, violence, mentions of sensitive topics (up to and including pondering the murder of children)
At 06:00 hours on the morning of Day 8, every terminal, be it the one in the living quarters or one of the personal terminals within the rooms, begins broadcasting the sound of a klaxon. This sound, loud enough to reverberate, continues for 30 seconds before it ends as abruptly as it began. The lights raise and after they are fully illuminating whatever area your character may have been rudely awoken in, LACUNA's cold voice fills the silence.
As incredibly forthcoming as she's been previously, any attempts to question her further are met with cold silence.
(OOC: The Test will be divided by day and function, and for more information, check out the sweet prompts below, also organized by date! You're not required to use this post, but it may be easier if you haven't found a partner! Feel free to make your own posts, either as actions or network posts as well! Remember, it isn't 100% necessary to obey her commands...)

"Good Morning, Initiates. Today will begin Testing. Our first Test Round will be for Aptitude measurement only. As such, blows that would otherwise be fatal will spare you. You have one hour to prepare. Afterwards, proceed to the cryopod chamber for further instruction. Thank you."

As they entered the kitchen, Darius went straight for the freezer. It was easier to find things now that there was cleaning involved, and he'd managed to make cleaning towels from various scraps he found around the facility. That at least helped better than when Obi-Wan had been injured.
no subject
Like everything else here other than the two of them it seemed like. Something told her that's how LACUNA wanted it.
"You'd think the stupid AI would want to give us something of proper medical supplies," she noted, "if only just to keep all of us in good testing shape." Grace was leading to something else, just taking a little bit to get there.
no subject
After wrapping the ice on a few of the towels he crosses over to her and lightly applies the ice to her neck. "I'm pretty sure that's the point." It had taken a bit, but he was answering her comment. "If we're dependant on her for our needs, we have less ability to fight back. It's the same with the punishment for deviance."
no subject
As if her volume level would matter to the damn AI though.
"I was talking out my ass to Anakin, when he was trying to kill Obi-Wan, and I told him that I think that she wasn't stopping him because what if she can bring us back from the dead. I know no one could really do it at home, not even you with all your science and brains, but what if she can?"
no subject
"I can't see the programmers of this facility leaving us to die. It's far too elaborate a system to be simply for murder."
no subject
“Unless they can bring us back. Then it’d be good data. And I’m probably sure I wasn’t all that close to death not really but it sure as hell felt like I was.” Grace rubs at her eyes for a moment with a frown, remembering how they had watered. At least the vessels in them hadn’t burst. That would have been the next step. Then passing out. Then death.
“Either way? Anakin is counting me as Obi-Wan’s friend now though. I’m thinking that may be a giant negative against me in his eyes.”
no subject
"I'm sure he is. We'll have to be more careful than we've already been being." He'd also have to talk with Obi-Wan to see if there was some way to keep Grace safe. While she was a strong and independent woman, sometimes even she neededprotecting.
no subject
Of course, it wasn't going to be easy, or good, or safe, but she could handle it as long as he was here. "He told me that. To be careful and avoid him. But jesus, Darius, this place is a tin can."
no subject
He hated that. He hated that he couldn't do anything to protect Grace and the others from this man. That he couldn't invent something that would protect them from his actions. But here he was important against such things. He had no tools or circuitry to work with.
